Rather than having to argue with bureaucrats about whether you have a right to data, you can  "scrape" the data from government Web sites by using tools and programming to download the data into a database on your computer. This session will show you some of the easiest ways to do that. Nils Mulvad and Sanjit Oberai will do hands-on training of the use of import.io.

Those taking our hands-on data training should bring their own laptops and, if possible, have Microsoft Excel (the spreadsheet software) loaded on their computers. And please sign up for a free account on import.io and download the Desktop App (https://www.import.io/download/download-info/)
